Speech Evaluation Form Fall 2017
This document is an evaluation form for informative speeches. It provides criteria for evaluating speeches across several key areas: topic, purpose, organization, support, language, voice, body, and visual aids. Speakers will be judged on how well they narrow their topic to be appropriate for their audience, clearly state their purpose, use logical organization with an engaging introduction and conclusion, provide well-developed supporting material, employ clear language, speak with a confident voice, maintain a professional presence, and incorporate visual aids to enhance their message when needed. Deductions may be applied for lateness or failing to submit an outline and draft by the due date.
